And not just returning. By the end of last season, Davis was a starting weak-side linebacker again, playing every defensive snap, racking up tackle totals that were impressive by any standard.

The Giants worked out a new, one-year deal with Thomas this week, giving him the chance to make the same remarkable comeback Davis achieved last year. Davis is believed to be the first NFL player to return from three ACL surgeries, and he hopes he’s blazed a trail for Thomas, and others.

I counted Davis out. I am gladly eating crow fajitas right now. The man is an inspiration to all. Never give up. Never surrender.

Seriously though, same here. I cringed nearly every time he made a tackle and hit the ground, his whole situation coming into the season against the odds and then playing lights out was just awesome to see.

I told the old hag at the counter that I was only buying them because Cam Newton was on the commercial and the bitch had the gall to call him $cam Newton to my face. I wanted to slap her so hard her tattooed-on eye shadow would come off.
